Once a month, between September 2014 and December 2018, I led a book discussion at a branch of my local library. This page is intended as a resource for my book club members, however anyone is welcome to use my list of past book club picks. I hope you find them useful! Books are listed in reverse chronological order. Clicking the title will lead to my reviews where applicable.
